She would forgive the truth   if you'd lift her with a smile, like you used to do.   She would bring the cuffs to you,   just to make you stay a while as if you wanted to.      So lie down, sleep around   hearts bending now will break   your light shattering my calm   a Life Sentence in your arms.   Breath in, breath out   a touch that suffocates   sirens wailing in alarm   a Life Sentence in your arms.      His arm reads like a prison cell wall   scratching days down as they pass, not recalling them all.   And his thoughts they twist and turn   investing everything in her and not expecting a return.   Will that be good enough for her?      So lie down, sleep around   hearts bending now will break   your light shattering my calm   a Life Sentence in your arms.   Breath in, breath out   a touch that suffocates   sirens wailing in alarm   a Life Sentence in your arms
